 Teacher Review (Not based on classroom experience)Reviewer: OklaMathman, Aug 3 2004 02:00:21:063AM |
Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings |
Other Comments: A very easy to use tool for beginners. If I had the ability to project computers images in my classroom I would use this applet instead of my graphing calculator and that is saying alot |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? Just the basics about the form of the equation and the shape of the graph. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? little or none, just be able to use a mouse. |
What extra things must be done to make it work? I would have to be able to project the image for the classroom to see to make this truly beneficial to me. |
How hard was it for you to learn? Very Easy |
Explanation: This applet requires little preknowledge to use. Maybe a short intro explaining the sliders would help some who are beginning computer users. |
Ability to meet my goals: Effective |
